The new Diamondback HD binocular has a completely overhauled optical design. It now incorporates HD glass, a new prism, and added phase-corrective and dielectric coatings that make the new Diamondback HD binoculars perform more like binoculars in the $400+ price class. They are very nearly as good as the Viper HD binoculars from an optical standpoint. The included GlassPakTM binocular harness keeps your glass close at hand, ready at a moment's notice. This new case-and-harness-in-one provides protection and significantly more comfort than traditional neck straps. Learn More -
